The curse of Aaron Ramsey

Sunderland are beating Arsenal at the Stadium of Light 1-0 and Aaron Ramsey prepares to come on, nothing strange about this so far, he comes on and equalises and the Arsenal fans celebrate the goal like it was any other but then some Gunners fans begin to realise that whenever Ramsey gets on the score sheet someone famous dies. Obviously this is just a strange coincidence but hours after Ramsey scored, Whitney Houston tragically dies. I am not making a joke out of her death by any means as she was a fantastic singer and one in a million but she became the next victim of the curse.

It all goes back to a game against Manchester United when the young Welshman scored the only goal in a 1-0 win on the 1st May. The very next day, the American government announce that their troops killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. There is no connection between these two events and they will have been in the same newspaper but one story on the front page and the other on the back page.

On the 5th October, Steve Jobs, one of the main men at Apple tragically lost his battle against cancer, yet again no connection to Ramsey but the day before he scored in a 2-1 defeat at White Hart Lane against Tottenham Hotspur. Still nobody would even think about putting these stories together but it is a very strange pattern developing.

And it continued after he scored the only goal in the game against Marseille in the Champions League, Colonel Gaddaffi’s death was announced. Now people are starting to put two and two together and thinking that he is a curse and whenever he scores somebody famous will die.

But surely this is all just a mad coincidence and they aren’t seriously connected as the player himself had nothing to do with anything that happened to these people. However, some people are taking it even further than this and saying he doesn’t even have to score to make something happen in the world because when he hit the post against Manchester City, the next day Kim Jung Ill died. Obviously people are just jumping on the bandwagon and now trying to find things and in my opinion if you look hard enough you will probably find something somewhere, like in this case, he has hit the post on other occasions and nothing has happened.

But the one that really caught my attention about this curse was the day he suffered a double fracture in his right leg, there was a massive earthquake in Chile which devastated many people’s lives and killed 525 people. I have no idea why it keeps happening when Ramsey scores but it has to be a coincidence it cannot be anything else.

I bet the next time he scores, on every social network site and forums people will be asking who is next? Because now it has made the news and a lot of people are talking about it.
